Describe one thing that makes you different from other people.

Prompt: One thing that makes me different from other people is how I see the world. I see my community as a melting of people and cultures that is random and beautiful as if weaves and paints new colors of traditions for everyone to see. I like to see the good in people and how where they come form influences who they are. One of my favorite things in the whole world is to talk to someone about where they are from. Some of my most fond memories are discussing an individuals beliefs and traditions and why they love them.

Write about something you’ve always been curious about.

 Prompt: One thing I’ve always been curious about is life after death. My background is Christian, leading me to believe that there is a heaven and a hell and one’s decisions during their life determine where they will be after passing. However, the science says otherwise. Biology and neuroscience show that there is no life after death. They state that once you stop breathing and your heart and brain stops there is just void.

The dictionary definition of the word brother is a male sibling sharing on or both parents as the person. However, it could also mean a person that you have a close relation with. I find myself using it a lot as a term to address my close friends, as well as an exclamation in reaction to an array of statements.
